2.10, 3.0
A customer reported a problem with a very large page. After some investigation, it appears that pages over a certain size cannot be saved in Firefox. In my testing, the attached file (800K.txt) can be used to reproduce the problem as follows:
- Copy the contents of the file into a new page
- Save the page
- Edit the page
- Attempt to save the page again
- The error varies depending on the browser. Some browsers (Firefox 3.0 on OS X, Firefox 3.5 on Windows) churn indefinitely. When running Firefox 3.5 through a proxy (such as Fiddler), the error "You must enter a title" eventually appears. The same message appears when saving using Internet Explorer 7 (no proxy).
The problem occurs with both Confluence 2.10.3 and Confluence 3.0.0_01. Interestingly, the problem does not occur when using Safari on OS X, the page saves as expected.
In my testing, the problem does not occur with a 600K file, but occurs with a 700K file or larger.
The obvious workaround is to break down very large pages into sections and use the {include} macro. In my opinion, adding a note about splitting the content to the fix for CONF-12773 would address this as well.
